And another one bites the dust!

Another pound that is!! I feel like I'm on a roll lately its so nice!!! I lost .8 this week (almost a pound) and Ill take it!

Mick (my sweetie pie hubby) and I were talking today at his lunch and he gave me a big hug and said he was so proud of me. Its always nice to hear the support. I told him this is the smallest I have been since the kids have been born (who are 10 and soon to be 7 years old now, so its been a LONG time).

Mick said it was crazy to think that, then he said "pretty soon you'll be at the weight you where when we meet" (187). I told him yep and I cant wait, then I saw this look on his face, so I asked him what he was thinking. He said "We are going in to uncharted territory! I cant imagine you being smaller then that?" I laughed and said "what are you going to do when the day comes and I weight 150?" he just laughed and said very lovingly "I cant tell you the kids are in the room" We both cracked up and he gave me another hug and told me again how proud of me he is.

Its so nice to have an amazing support system at home. Mick and the kids are so into it with me and encourage me like no one else. Support is key to weight loss, it makes a huge difference. Best part is Mick and the kids are on my eating habits and their taste in things has changed too. We always have fresh fruit and veggies in the house, and surprisingly our food bill has gone down a lot.

Another thing I'm really excited about, is my Mom will be here tomorrow night :)!!!!! I cant wait to see her and my super cute nephew. My mom has been my other big supporter (so has my BFF Star, shes amazing) I text my mom after every WI on Fri right before my meeting starts. I have been giving her all my updates and stats every Fir, and she always text or calls me back with something encouraging to say. She is always there to listen, even when I called her crying after my first gain and my first big gain, and when I called crying cause I was out of the 200's :) she is the best!

I haven't seen my Mom in a year, almost a year to the day. So this reunion is going to be so cool, last time she saw me I was at my highest weight 260. Now I'm going to be so much smaller, I'm so excited to see her reaction. I haven't sent her pics or anything, so this is going to be fun.

This is my motto lately, and it is so true.....

Keep going :)

McDonalds

Yep it doesn't matter where you live you all know those golden arches and what they mean....fatty food, lots of deep fried things, some of the highest calorie ice cream you can find. Yet knowing all this still does stop people (or me) from eating it.

and when you have gone so long with out it...... well sometimes it is rewarding to have some. I had a busy day and night for that matter and I didn't get home till 8:30pm. So I had to find something for dinner. Mick thankfully went to McDonalds and got dinner for him and this kids, but not me cause I always pass on fast food now. Well there wasn't anything in the house for me to really make a meal out of (I need to go shopping). So my sweet hubby got his shoes on and told me he was going back to McDonalds to get me dinner (its right across the street from my house....yeah Ouch!). I told him No but he went anyways. He got my old fave a 2 cheese burger meal with a Dr Pepper and he even got me a Rolo Mcflurry (OMG what was he thinking). It all looked really good....and I was really hungry.

I ate my fries first, and they were so yummy, then I had 1 of the cheese burgers and my McFlurry. I put it all in my etools and was pleasantly surprised. I was still OP!!! I had 17 DP left for the day and 18 WP I totally forgot I had!! My dinner was yummy and I feel every point was worth it. Sometime you just have to have that "I'm probably going to end up in the ER" meal. The best part for me was the first bite was just as satisfying as the last, and now I'm over it. I enjoyed it but I enjoy my fresh meals way more. No to mention it has made me feel really sluggish and is kinda weighing heavy in my stomach, good thing its almost bed time. :)

The Point........Indulge, once in a wile as long as its worth it. We are not perfect and never will be, so eat it be done and move on.

Yep it was good :)

HELLO ONE-DERLAND!!!!

I did it, I officially am out of the 200's!!!! This week I was on the money, I was so on top of it and it paid off. Now I am so determined to NEVER see that scale ever say 200 anything again. I even went to Great America ( a theme park for those who don't know what it is) and a Baseball game (wwooohhhooo GO OAKLAND!) and I totally stayed OP all day. I used all my DP and only 7 of my WP, plus I earned 6 AP today. I feel so good and on top of the world.

I cant stop smiling :)

Its Official....

Im registerd for the Tinkerbell Half Marathon!! Cant wait for Jan and the fun time it will be running through Disneyland. Im so excited!!!

Keep going...

Its so hard to keep up this journey sometimes. I have lost 55 lbs so far and reached a big goal for me. On friday I weighed 200 lbs on the dot. That was a nice feeling! It gave me the drive to keep going, but at the same time I'm getting frustrated.

There is a reason WW's tells you to only weight in 1x a week, its mainly because your weight changes everyday all day and trying to weigh in at the same time and same day each week will give you the best judge of weight loss. I on the other hand (like most I'm sure) have a bad habit of "peeking" at the scale all week long. This is where my frustration is coming from.

I want to see that scale read in the 100's so bad, that everyday since friday I have been peeking each morning. I have been doing really good with my DP and WP and have not gone over. I have been getting some exercise in (even went swimming yesterday for 2 hours with the kids), but that darn scale isn't going in the direction I want. It has gone up but it usually does on the weekend cause I eat most of my WP on fri, sat, and sunday. SO that's to be expected, this week I have been really good and tried to spread my WP out longer and I did. I used the last of them yesterday.

Now I only have my 30 DP each day for the rest of the week. I'm ok with that I just really want to see the scale go down!!! I know I will get there as long as I keep going, but sometimes its just so hard, I want the results I want now!! That isn't going to happen so on with sucking it up and just Keep going!

On another note, registration for the Tinkerbell Half Marathon opens today!!! Im so excited to sign up and start my half marathon training. Im going for a run today after Mick gets home from work, now that the kids are on summer break running has to be done when Mick gets home, the kids love riding their bikes and scooters but when I have them do 2-3 miles with me, without stopping.....yeah they don't like it to much hehe.

Mini goal REACHED!!!!

At WI yesterday I hit s big goal for me. I lost 4.2 lbs this week reaching my 55lb mark. I now weigh 200 lbs on the dot!! Onederland will be mine next week for sure :).

Best part of reaching this mini goal I get to go shopping for a bag with this logo...

O YEAH BABY, it will soon be mine (next week when we get paid lol) I cant wait to go shopping I have wanted a Coach purse forever (but could never justify paying so much for one) and now I finally feel I deserve to get one. Next mini goal is 25 lbs away and I get matching Coach sunglasses :). Still not sure what to go for my goal weight prize, I'm thinking a Disney cruse........
